I like this trade for him. Moves to a more pitcher friendly park, he'll probably be given a chance to pitch this year too. Arizona seemed to be jerking him around. He's now 1 step closer to becoming a front of the line starter.
Do we really have any bad contracts? Maybe Reyes', but his is only for 5 more years. That Pujols contract is going to look bad, maybe even worse then A-rods.
Ya, pretty much. But I think his speed is still a touch under Hamilton's, that could be because he doesn't wanna show all 5 of his tools at once and show everyone else up.
Dickey has 3 years of control still, not 2. Buehrle leaving will free up a ton of cash, so we'll be in play for a good free-agent starter when he leaves.
